Vikrant:

I'm glad you enjoyed our online HTCondor week, and that you find the 
minicondor docker image useful. In order to clear /dev/shm, HTCondor 
needs not just root, but certain kernel privileges that aren't enabled 
by default inside a docker container. I think this should work if you 
start the docker container with privilege, e.g. docker run --privileged ...
