if you're working in maya:
-turn on snap to grids
-select all objects
-with move tool selected, hold down D
-middle mouse drag to center of grid

it makes them move all together, but they keep their position
I'd like them all to be set on 0 0 0 x y z

solved.

I actually had to click one of those pivot points [on the point, really] with the MMB.

Run this in the script editor as a python command with all your objects that you want to move the pivot for.

import maya.cmds as cmds

myObjects = cmds.ls(sl=True)

for obj in myObjects:
	cmds.move(0,0,0,obj+'.scalePivot',absolute=True)
	cmds.move(0,0,0,obj+'.rotatePivot',absolute=True)
