Question How do I code 'not in this group'
I am trying to find if the entered value is not in a group. Here is my code.
Code:
if [ $1 not in ( "LVCH", "LVEI", "LVMI", "LVCH" )  ]
  then
    echo 'Sid is not in list. Try one of these in caps.'
    echo 'LVCH,  LVEI, LVMI, LVCH'
    exit
fi;

Any Ideas?

groups

groups(1)							   User Commands							 groups(1)

NAME

       groups - print group membership of user

SYNOPSIS

       groups [user...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  command groups prints on standard output the groups to which you or the optionally specified user belong. Each user belongs to a group
       specified in  /etc/passwd and possibly to other groups as specified in  /etc/group. Note that  /etc/passwd specifies the numerical ID (gid)
       of the group. The groups command converts gid to the group name in the output.

EXAMPLES

       The output takes the following form:

	      example% groups tester01 tester02
	      tester01 : staff
	      tester02 : staff
	      example%

FILES

       /etc/passwd

       /etc/group
