I think what you want to do will be done by:
shutdown -h now
For disbling the ctrl-alt-del combination have a look at the
/etc/inittab file. Comment out the line (add a # to its
beginning)
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now
I am sure about the shutdown business but have not tried
disbling the ctrl-alt-del myself. So treat the second suggestion
with care.
