I thought this comment in the script explained the rationale:
# Flush the kernel I/O buffer before we start to kill
# processes, to make sure the IO of already stopped services to
# not slow down the remaining processes to a point where they
# are accidentily killed with SIGKILL because they did not
# manage to shut down in time.
sync
How can the description be improved to make it clearer?
Happy hacking,
