From sh(1) man page:
Built-in Commands
This section lists the commands which are built-in because they need to
perform some operation that cannot be performed by a separate process.
In addition to these, a built-in version of the test(1) command is pro-
vided for efficiency.
: A null command that returns a 0 (true) exit value.
It seems that many daemons are not stopped properly...
