Isn't any "NOT" operator that can be used in the case construction like :
case $VAR (NOT) in
option1 | option2 | option 3...) COMMAND ;;
esac
Or something similiar to the "default" from switch, so I could at least do something like this:
case $VAR in
option 1 | option 2 | option 3 ...\) do nothing ;;
default\) COMMAND ;;
If the answer is no,
I'll use a flag that is filled when VAR is one of the possible values...
