My Linux system (With Oracle installed) keep on warning the free swap space is below 10%. How can I check which process used the swapspace. And how can free up the swap space.

there are a couple of ways to check you swap and memory usage
one is the 'top' command.
you just open a console terminal and type top
you will see a details list of ruuning applications and their respective memory usage.
to kill those misbehaving applications just take note of the appplication's PID and type k PID.
for example if the misbehaving application's PID is 3698 you type k 3698
to wuit top type q
another way to view your swap usage is typing in a console:
'more /proc/meminfo'
without the quotes of course
There are probably better methods but this gives you a fair idea of what
happens...

Nearly any system monitoring software can present used swap space.
(I'd suggest embiggening your swap partition. Mine is 2GB)
