You could put the user that will run the program into the sudo list.
Or give the program suid so that it runs as root and has all of roots privileges.

To the best of my knowledge, no Linux asks for any password when shutting down.
If you shut down Ubuntu normally, it displays every command used during the process. These same commands can be used in many programming languages.

From what I have seen done, depends on the version and a you'll need to compile some bash commands. see the sources below.
