Apparently, rootssh uses a couple of Linux-specific things that prevent it to work on macOS, namely:
The script relies on the OpenBSD netcat (GNU variant does not support UNIX-domain sockets), which is usually available as nc on macOS.
On GNU/Linux, nc is typically a symlink to netcat; thus, I would advise to replace all occurrences of netcat to nc in the script.
It also relies on xdg-open, that complies to the freedesktop.org's XDG specification, and that is expected to be present on most (all?) GNU/Linux systems.
However, open should be used instead in macOS.
