I can't think of anything within rkhunter which would do this (or even how!). As has already been mentioned it seems like something else is causing RKH to be stopped.
However, if you want to you can run 'rkhunter --debug -c --sk' and this will cause a debug file to be created in /tmp. You can send the file to me and I'll take a look to see if there is anything obvious. Not sure why you use the 'skill' command - I admit I hadn't heard of it and had to look it up. On my Fedora 11 system the man page states for skill (the 'tools' being skill and snice): These tools are probably obsolete and unportable. The command syntax is poorly defined. Consider using the killall, pkill, and pgrep com- mands instead. As it suggests look at pkill or just the 'kill' command instead. It may save you problems on systems which no longer support skill.
