I would like to make a kron job to logout from the X window and halt

You don't need a cron job.
man shutdown.

i've already used shutdown counting down time, it actually rebooted the
computer i think.

shutdown with the -h option should shut down the system completely. If it
re-boots when using -h then you have an issue with your hardware or the
way your BIOS is set up.
