On the system, do a "who -u" - this will show you something like this:
ulairi console Aug 22 19:50 2:31 7861 (:0)
ulairi pts/3 Aug 22 19:51 0:01 9593 (:0.0)

The last number (7861 and 9593) is the PID for the users' login shell. Send a kill to it (via "kill pid") and you'll have logged the user off.

As for a custom message - I'd recommed writing a shell script that queries the users' status and displays the number of credits they are under, and does an "exit" call.

For an example of what I mean, take a look at /bin/false
