My pgsql service keeps dieing and has a bunch of errors like this in the
server log, eventually it stops giving these

Warning: terminatin connection because of crash of another server process
Detail: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the
current transaction and exit, because nother server process exited
abnormally and possible corrupted shared memory
Hint: ina moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat
your command

And starts giving these:

FATAL: the database system is in recovery mode

Could a series of commands, say perhaps a few hundred of the course of an
hour, that had incorrect syntax cause a problem like this? Is there
anywhere I can go for more info?

There should be something to say what killed "another server process".

No - backends should only die in the event of hardware problems/out of
memory/disk or they've been killed by an administrator.

The first thing you'll need to do is find out why the initial problem
occurs. There should be something in the logs to say what is happening.

Those are just fallout. Show us the original problem.
