Just using wildcards in the command line works usually, but it breaks under any of these conditions:
- If you want to apply more than 1 command
- If the files where the command should be applied aren't all in the same directory
- If there are too many files to fit on 1 command line
- If you want to avoid "is a directory" error messages should a directory have a similar name as the files you want to modify

grid-proxy-destroy
GRID-PROXY-DESTROY(1) Globus Commands GRID-PROXY-DESTROY(1)
NAME
grid-proxy-destroy - Destroy the default proxy certificate
SYNOPSIS
grid-proxy-destroy [-help] [-usage] [-version]
grid-proxy-destroy [-debug] [-dryrun] [-default] [-all] [--] [FILENAME...]
DESCRIPTION
The grid-proxy-destroy program removes X.509 proxy files from the local filesystem. It overwrites the data in the files and removes the
files from the filesystem. By default, it removes the current user's default proxy (either /tmp/x509up_uUID where UID is the current POSIX
user id, or the file pointed to by the X509_USER_PROXY environment variable) unless a list of proxy file paths are included as part of the
command line.
Use the -- command-line option to separate a list of proxy paths from command line options if the proxy file begins with the - character.
The full list of command-line options to grid-proxy-destroy are:
-help, -usage
Display the command-line options to grid-proxy-destroy.
-version
Display the version number of the grid-proxy-destroy command
-debug
Display verbose error messages.
-dryrun
Do not remove the proxy, but display the path of the files that would have been removed, or the directory where they would have been
removed from if the -all command-line option is used.
-default
Remove the default proxy in addition to the files included on the command-line. Only needed if other paths are included on the
command-line.
-all
Remove the default proxy and all delegated proxies in the temporary file directory.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of grid-proxy-destroy:
X509_USER_PROXY
Path to the default user proxy.
