I am running Oracle Linux enterprise server 5.0. I just installed JDE 9.0 and after I started Webserver my root directory is 100% full.  
Can some one help me flush stdout. I am new to linux.

What are you actually trying to do? What are you trying to accomplish? Swap is not something you should need to flush. Maybe you want to drop your disk cache? If your root filesystem ( / ) is full, then you seem to have horribly misconfigured the server for the purpose. I would suggest a reinstall with more partitions to prevent this.
