Replace 'username' with your username on Narval. The 'narval' above is just a name given to this "host". You can put here any name you like that does not already exist in your ~/.ssh/config. The '10m' means that you will be able to log in without authentication up to 10 minutes after you closed your last connection to Narval from the same machine. Possible time units for ControlPersist are:
none: seconds, s | S : seconds, m | M: minutes, h | H: hours, d | D: days, w | W: weeks
Combinations are also possible, for example: 1h30m → 1 hour 30 minutes (90 minutes)

First you need to contact The Alliance (support@tech.alliancecan.ca) and ask them to "add your username to the group which is allowed to use the robot nodes" and tell them what which commands you want to execute (for example 'rsync' or 'squeue' etc.) and what tools or libraries you will be using to manage the automation. They should get back to you with more information - or questions.
