A simpler way is to dump ICD2 and buy the US$35 PICKit 2. It
has a console version pk2cmd which does what you want. As
a programmer, PICkit 2 is way better than ICD2. Firstly it can
control target Vdd. Secondly, you can get good support from
the PICKit 2 developer from Microchip Forum. Thirdly, it
supports non-MCU device like serial EEPROMs and other
Microchip device.
