Couple things to consider

Code:

cd /var/logs/abc.log

will error. should

Code:

cd /var/logs

as you change directories, and should not include filename

Now, since a cd command could error, probably better to change you 2nd line to

Code:

uuencode /var/logs/abc.log | mailx -s "logs requested" sankalps@1somewhere.com

Try it out at the command line (on your screen).
If ok, then you would type this into a file and save it as something like email_logs.sh
Will need to make the script executable

Code:

chmod +x email_logs.sh

Finally, you can work on the cron tast to run this regularly.

getbuildlog

GETBUILDLOG(1)                                                General Commands Manual                                               GETBUILDLOG(1)

NAME

       getbuildlog - download build logs from Debian auto-builders

SYNOPSIS

       getbuildlog package [version-pattern] [architecture-pattern]

DESCRIPTION

       getbuildlog downloads build logs of package from Debian auto-builders. It downloads build logs of all versions and for all architectures if
       version-pattern and architecture-pattern are not specified or empty, otherwise only build logs whose  versions  match  version-pattern  and
       build  logs  whose  architectures  match  architecture-pattern will be downloaded. The version and architecture patterns are interpreted as
       extended regular expressions as described in grep(1).

       If version-pattern is "last" then only the logs for the most recent version of package found on buildd.debian.org will be downloaded.

       If version-pattern is "last-all" then the logs for the most recent version found on each build log index will be downloaded.
